Did Jesus Christ ever spend time in Prison?

Answer 1

No. He was shuffled from hearing to hearing between the time of His arrest and crucifixion, but there's no record in the New Testament of Jesus ever being "jailed."

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught, "I was...sick and in prison and you did not visit Me" (Matthew 25:43), but this was a metaphorical reference to His followers (v. 45), not a literal reference to having been jailed.

Answer 2

Not to my knowledge. Assuming you're talking about when he was arrested, he spoke to Caiaphas (the Jewish high priest) first. Caiaphas took him to Pilate. He spoke to Pilate, then Pilate had him flogged. Then Pilate sentenced him to death. I suppose that it is possible that during all of this it is possible Jesus was put in a holding cell of some sort. Remember that the idea of jail as a punishment is a very new idea. Jail held people until the punishment up until recently (1800s). So they may not have written about it that was a part of the process.

Answer 3

Jesus never went to jail in the Scripture, though He was arrested and tried as a prisoner then executed. Humans make a metaphorical analogy of the grave as a jail for us unto we are called to the judgment.

Answer 4

In the entire bible there is not a single verse that says Jesus was put in prison , Yes he was taken before Pilate for trial that is all.

Answer 5

He was arrested and was a Prisoner (in jail? today it would be considered jail) He was with Barabbas and then had His trail that next morning, Matthew 27:15-17
